James 1:19-27

19

WhereforeG5620, myG1473 belovedG27 brethrenG80, let everyG3956 manG444 beG1510 swiftG5036 toG1519 hearG191, slowG1021 toG1519 speakG2980, slowG1021 toG1519 wrathG3709: 20ForG1063 the wrathG3709 of manG435 workethG2716 notG3756 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316. 21WhereforeG1352 lay apartG659 allG3956 filthinessG4507 andG2532 superfluityG4050 of naughtinessG2549, and receiveG1209 withG1722 meeknessG4240 the engraftedG1721 wordG3056, whichG3588 is ableG1410 to saveG4982 yourG4771 soulsG3588G5590. 22ButG1161 beG1096 ye doersG4163 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3361 hearersG202 onlyG3440, deceivingG3884 your own selvesG1438. 23ForG3754 ifG1487 anyG5100 be a hearerG202 of the wordG3056, andG2532 notG3756 a doerG4163, heG3778 isG1510 like untoG1503 a manG435 beholdingG2657 hisG846 naturalG3588G1078 faceG3588G4383 inG1722 a glassG2072: 24ForG1063 he beholdethG2657 himselfG1438, andG2532 goeth his wayG565, andG2532 straightwayG2112 forgettethG1950 what manner of manG3697 he wasG1510. 25ButG1161 whoso lookethG3879 intoG1519 the perfectG5046 lawG3551 of libertyG3588G1657, andG2532 continuethG3887 therein, heG3778 beingG1096 notG3756 a forgetfulG1953 hearerG202, butG235 a doerG4163 of the workG2041, this manG3778 shall beG1510 blessedG3107 inG1722 hisG846 deedG3588G4162.

26IfG1487 any manG5100 amongG1722 youG4771 seemG1380 to beG1510 religiousG2357, and bridlethG5468 notG3361 hisG846 tongueG1100, butG235 deceivethG538 his ownG846 heartG2588, this man’sG3778 religionG3588G2356 is vainG3152.

27PureG2513 religionG2356 andG2532 undefiledG283 beforeG3844 GodG3588G2316 andG2532 the FatherG3962 isG1510 thisG3778, To visitG1980 the fatherlessG3737 andG2532 widowsG5503 inG1722 theirG846 afflictionG3588G2347, and to keepG5083 himselfG1438 unspottedG784 fromG575 the worldG3588G2889.
